Attention all Sabyasachi brides, there’s a new couture collection for you

Sabyasachi has become such a popular choice for brides that the brand has dedicated an Instagram handle just to share images of real brides on their big day. Having opted out of the couture week schedule, Sabyasachi Mukherjee now chooses to share his new collections through Instagram for a democratic, all-access unveiling of the new line. All of last week, the designer shared teasers for his upcoming autumn/winter 2017 couture collection and jewellery line, that was finally revealed last evening.

The designer scoured through the lanes of Thiruvananthapuram, Coimbatore, Lucknow, Hyderabad and Patiala to source pieces of vintage jewellery with exemplary craftsmanship that is hard to come by today. These were then painstakingly reproduced by artisans of the Sabyasachi Art Foundation. The line is broadly divided into Fine Jewellery (gemstones and diamonds), Heritage Jewellery (inspired from jewellery of Colonial India), Jadau, Vintage India (temple jewellery) and Men’s Jewellery. Naturally, given the designer’s homogenous aesthetic that only evolves and never changes from season to season, the collection would look best paired with his couture line.

This season, the bridal couture follows broad themes titled ‘Devi’, ‘Gulkand’ and ‘Minimalist-Maximalist’. Aside from the show-stopping ornate trademark Sabyasachi lehengas, the collection offers Kanjeevaram tissue saris reminiscent of Raja Ravi Verma paintings. It’s clear that the collection addresses the needs of both the bride and the bridal party, including menswear. The exhaustive collection that evokes a sense of nostalgia can be seen on the brand’s Instagram handle, or better still, go through our slideshow here.
